Railways for China.
Correspondent Of the London Times

The memorial on which the Chinese
decree was recently issued sanction
ing the construction If new railways
n nth of the Peiho. 1t was addressed
by the Emperiors father to the EN-
press Regent. and is interesting as a
Chint 'e opion on railways:
"The introduction Of railways has
been under discussion for several years.
Some have argued IN their favor and
others adversely, 50 that no definite
conclusion has been come to. The
memoralist, I-Huon (the Seventh
Prince has frequently heard these
oft-repeated opinions, and his own
views we've at one time opposed to the
Innovation; but since the recent CAM
paign, and since he himself visited the
northern seaports, he has become
aware that these adverse opinions are
not In accordance with the true in.

with Li-Huug Chang and Shan Ching,
inspected the seaports, the question of

when he pr sided over the Tsung-lI
iamen, he obtained clear insight in

"Iseng- -Chi.Tse (the Marquis Tseng)
has been Ambassador in foreign coun-
tits for eight wears, and has himself
studied the railway systems of other
nations, their utility IN providing for
the transport of troops and material,
their Immense benefit to the people,
the large issues they involve, and the
great ads santages to be derived from
them; and he has seen that they not

tho State. Since his Appointment to
Isung IL fainen he has devoted much
thought to this matter, and made
nany Inquiries, which have resulted
in his entlre agreement with the views
set ferth IN this memorial. In our de-
iibeIat.ons NC have duly recognised
lhe fact that the circumstances of
China have from ages past differed
widely from those of other nations;
aud while we we fully cosnlzant OF the

the objections that might exist to an
uusightly network of railways spread
like web over the land, AS ia the case
of many countries. On the other
hand, when We consider the important
advantages to be gained in the facility
and rapidity with which troops and ma
terlal can be moved from place to place,
We are convinced of the desirability for
the Lest measures IN this directlop.
One should not look al only one side
Of a question. In the autumn
the new war vessels ordered from Eng
land and Germany should reach China,
aud next year the memorlalist, I-Huan
Chang aud his colleagues arrange for
the formation Of the first division Of
the navy. They can at the same time
inspect the railway. If it is found to
be useful and free from objections,
they would suggest that similar plans
be put into operation in the various
mining districts of The country"

extreme State poverty that it can de-
vote to education, as matter of bus
mess judgement it should give it to
the University and open its doors.
Why2 Because, if it be given to the
State public schools and distributed
pre- rata among them, it would not be
enough to make pereeptit lie differ
ence in the length of the terms of those
schools. 1t would add so little to each
school that we might say they would
be continued only few hours longer /;
whereas, if given to the UniversitE1
the effect would be SO great that alt
the departments of that great institu-
ton could be thrown open to every
North Carolinian that might seek its
advantages, without the least charge
for tuition.

Bill Nye Talks About Asheville.

Extract from the speech he aorote for Cleveland.
The sun never lit up cutter little
town than Asheville. Nature just
seemed to wear herself out ON Bun
combe county and then took what sh e
had left over to make the rest of the
country. Your air is full of vigor.
Your farms get up and hump them
selves on one side or in the middle, so
that you have to wear a pair of tele-
graph pole climbers when you go to
dig your potatoes. Here you will see
the japonica, the jonquill and the
jaundice growing side by side in the
spring, and at the cheese foundry you
can hear the skipper calling to his
mate.
Your mountain breezes and your
fried chicken bear strength and heal
ing in their wings. (Hold valve open
two minutes and half to give laugh
ter full scope. Your altitude and
your butter are both high, and the man
who cannot get all the fresh air he
wants on your mountains will do well
to rent one Of your cottages and allow
the wind to meander through his
whiskers.

Stormwinds upon the sea
Tell me to weigh great Cheops-
Set volcanic forces free;
But bid me not, my Countrymen,
To picture Robert Lee!
As Saul, bound for Damascus fair,
Was struck blind by sudden light
So my eyes are panied and dazzled
By radiance pure and white
Shot back by the Furnished armor
Ofthat glory belted Knight.
His was all the Norman's polish
And sobriety of grace;
All the Goth's majestic figure;
AL the Romans noble face;
And he stood the tall exemplar
.Gf a grand historic race
Baronial were his acres W here
Potomac's waters run;
High his lin cage, and his blazon
Was by cunning heralds done;
But better still he might have said
OF his "works' he was the "son."
Truth walked beside him always
From his childhood's early years,
Honor followed as his shadow
Valor lightened all his cares;
And he rode-that grand Virginian-
Last of all the Cavaliers!
As soldier we all knew him
Great in action and repose,
Saw how his genius kindled
And his mighty spirit rose
When the four quarters of the globe
Encompassed him with foes.
But he and his grew brayer
AS the danger grew more rife,
Avaricious they of glory
But most prodigal of life,
And the "Army of Virginia"
Was the Atlas of the strife.
AS his troubles gathered round him,
Thick as waves that beat The shore
ATRA CuRA rode behind him
Famine's shadow filled his door:
Still he wrought deeds no mortal man
Had ever wrought before.
y
But there came a greater glory
To that man supremely great
when his just sword he laid aside
In peace to serve his State,)
For in his classic solitude
He rose up and mastered Fate
He trlunphed and he did not diel
No funeral bells are tolled-
But on that day in Lexington
Fame came herself to hold
His stirrup while he mounted
To ride down the streets of gold.

Seen From the Prison Tower

We see the streets of the city being lighted
by the new incandescent lights but at the same
time that the gas lights are better for
lighting the streets, and had such gas been sup
piled before the electric light company had got its
contract from the city. such contract would new
er have been made. The old gas was certainly
the very worst made. whilst the new gas IS far
ahead Of any in the state.
We see the officials of the prison have men en-
ployed outside who keep Main street and the side
walks opposit the state property in the best of
order, snow and ice being removed whenever
needed.
We see that preparations are being made by the
receiver of the Car Co. for the manufacture of
engines and separatOrs for for next years bust
ness, whoever may be in possession of the works
at that time.
We sec that the machine shop of the Car Co. is
doing large business for outside parties, and
such work is constantly increasing; while the
jobbing shop is driven to about its full capacity.
We can see the benefits of many of the
street improvements made during the past season.,
which has caused property to look up and given
an impetus to building, such the city has not
had for some time. The business and other blocks
are of a superior class.

Were you ever in Switzerland, the land of
mountains and beautiful lakes, where is to
be found at any time of the year the sick
seeking health and the curious seeking
sights? Tourists visiting Europe seldom
neglect to visit Luzerne, Berne or some of
the many other picturesque mountain re-
sorts, where the air is pure and consump-
ton as disease is unknown. The coun-
try presents many striking pictures to the
traveller as he passes over the mountains,
and many are the stories he hears from his
guide about this place or that Sometimes
they treat of but recent occurrences; more
frequently, however, the wonderful tale
has been handed down in the family Of
guides from father to son, for ages past.
While making little excursion through
Switzerland. some years ago, accompanied
by the indispensable guide, we passed a
spot which called forth in my guides mind
the following little incident. He related
the same to me as we neared the place. l
